All Along The Watchtower
Rock and Roll (Part 2)

I tire so easily of Bob Marley. Have to agree with Proclivities on this list though. I would add any tune by Steve Miller to the list...most notably "The Joker" or "Jet Airliner". Ugh. |

if this song can't put you at ease, then there is no help for you...
this song defines mellow and should be used as a benchmark.

It was a profound moment when I first heard Bob sing this song. I thought only women went through this! :)

Kiddies, let this be a lesson to you: drugs derived from natural sources are fun, but combined with the influence of fundamentalist religious dogma they can make you say all kinds of questionable stuff, and even attribute the qualities of high art to mundane half effort. If you're going to serve a sacred cow, make sure it's medium rare with a side salad. |

I love this song. I have a greater appreciation for it now that I am familiar with Annie Lennox's take on it. I actually prefer Lennox's version (which I certainly never expected), but I still love Marley's. Mmmmm. Things are good.

How about some Peter Tosh? I miss him, too! (Actually, Bob Marley gets a little "generic" after awhile.)
